i'm one of those leftist liberals you've been warned about and genuinely want to expand the welfare state. i'm obsessed with politics, with a focus on civil rights (race, gender, disability, etc). i love charts and graphs and data. i also love street art and graffiti. i'm far too lazy for proper capitalization and i don't care.

» Nine women rescued from fake reality TV show

Nine women have been rescued after being tricked into believing they were reality show contestants, Turkish military police said Thursday.

The women were freed on Monday from a villa in Riva, a summer resort on the outskirts of Istanbul, a spokesman for the military police in the region who carried out the raid told The Associated Press.

The women were made to believe they were being filmed for a Big Brother-type television show, the private Dogan news agency and other news reports said, without citing sources. Instead, their naked images were sold on the Internet, the reports said.
